Whoo Hoo! Today is all about how to get the essential #homebar! I've built hundreds, both for homes and restaurants, so I know my way around, and I'm sharing it all with you. And if you REALLY want to know every deet, be sure to sign up for my email list at www.lisaholt.com, I'll be sending out the COMPLETE scoop there!

I purchased some excellent plans from the Woodprix website.

As someone who's been "Deep in the world of drinking at home" since March, this video was one of my faves you've done so far!!! 😝🍷🍹🍺🥃🥂🍸😎

Fingers crossed that you will do a coffee bar as well :D

Bar Carts, vintage bar ware, vintage ice buckets, I love them all. Great episode of adventures in design with Lisa Holt!!

“Because we are jumping DEEP into the world of... DRINKING AT HOME!” I love it! And this is a really helpful video - so many great ideas. Thanks Lisa!

Can't wait! I already know it's gonna be super GROOVY!! 😉😂

“It’s on wheels, it can go anywhere!” My new mantra! Great video, thank you! 🥳

Seriously these videos are the highlight of my week. Thanks Lisa for your cheery bright style and warm greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

You do not disappoint. The lighting & placement of items can be used for other areas as well. I enjoy your detailed perspective with multiple visuals with different decor ideas. Love the beautiful pics with color!

I had no idea people still do bars in their homes. I remember the 80’s bars with all the wood wth the mirrored tiles on the wall and they were always in the basement family room lol.

Wow, Lisa, you outdid yourself on this one! Some of those bars are absolute show-stoppers. And, it's the perfect time of year to set one up. Looking forward to getting that PDF so I can get started. Have a great week!

I still love watching your videos even though they don't apply to me. I don't even drink and I want everything you mentioned hahaha

"Walk right up and make myself a mai tai, no questions asked" LOL!!👍

i literally started looking for ways to build a bar in my new apartment - like 1 hour ago - and this pops up in my youtube feed

We have a buffet that has my husbands decanted bourbon with two glasses on a silver tray. I suppose that I could take the China out of the cabinet below and install a dorm fridge 😂😂 Although our family are not big drinkers, it is nice to have a space to easily pour a couple of drinks. I was so excited about this episode of Lisa Holt! My gosh her designs are drop dead GORGEOUS!!

I've been SUPER into 70's, Austin Powers-y inspired interiors lately and feel like that style would go so well with this year's color trends! I would love to see you do a video on "groovy" interiors!

So interesting as an element in a home. I think it is essentially a pre-open concept idea. With open concept, unless the home is vast, there really isn’t any need for a separate bar area. My take on it is a non alcoholic beverage center, basically can be done with just a table or small cart. I’m in a small apartment and like to be able to have drinks available in the living room without having people come into the kitchen. It changes seasonally, in summer tall glasses, an ice bucket, a pitcher for lemonade or iced tea. A basket beneath with fine waters. In cooler months, a teapot and cups, spoons, a tea selection, packets of cocoa, sugar and creamer, a trivet to place a hot kettle of water. Guests love it and you’re not leaving the party or balancing trays. Bars can be so elegant.

😹😹😹OMG! Lurch! He was my favorite! My Mom got a kick out of that too. I’m not even done with the video, I just had to comment on that 😹😹

Love this! Came at the perfect time, as we are building a golf simulator room with a wet bar! Trash can!!! We didn’t have that in our design! Thank you!! Also- makes me want to add a high top to the space so people can sit and watch golf with their drinks and also have something to put apps on!

Lisa! I get so excited when I see a new video from you! I've been known to watch the old ones several times because they make me so happy - your enthusiasm is so much FUN and your tips and tricks are on point! Thank you - I know my 864 sq ft home will be sooooo much better because you've given me so much valuable information, not to mention inspiration!!! I bet I'm not the only one who feels like they've known you for years, LOL! You are the BEST!!

Great information. love the cool clean arch so beautiful. Will you do a coffee bar video? Enjoy the weekend.

My bar is a 60s tv set that I found in the pavement in my street! Thank you kind Sir/ Madam!

Your energy is so contagious... love you Lisa thanks for teaching me so much this year... Have great holidays ❤️☺️👍

Your energy on this topic gives me life

I love your enthusiasm and personality! Designing is my favorite hobby!

Those bar carts are stunning!!

Some of the bar cabinets were absolutely fabulous 🥰

Ah, Lisa, you always make me laugh while sharing your knowledge!!! Thanks so very much!

“It’s on wheels. It can go anywhere!” 🙃🍹cheers to that! Love the video - was so much fun

I just found your channel and Im obsessed. We are building our home now and I can watch your videos all day.

Loved this video. Super useful. Really refreshing to see a women talking about how to make your own home bar !

OMGEEZY!!!! I let out a high pitched squeak when this Bar segment popped up... Thank you-thank you-thank you- thank you for sharing this...so inspiring and can’t wait to try these idea. And yes, this is super fun and so glad that I subscribed. Can mention enough how I appreciate your enthusiasm Lisa. Stay safe, stay fun and stay happy 😄🥳😎

This my most fav content this year. Thanks Lisa 🔥🔥🔥

Nina, that’s why I subscribed. When I saw her name I had to. I’ve loved her work for years. You’ll love the books. 😁

Thank you for your videos - always such great ideas! Someone please give this talented human her own tv show!!!

Thank you for all your wonderful videos! Your explanations and examples are comprehensive, articulate and educated. Watching your vids has helped me to crystallize for myself what my design styles are, & how my personality infuses my preferences. Your resources are so appreciated. Your personality is effervescent. And btw, I LOVE when you clap and point to the camera. Your excitement is contagious 😊

Wow what incredible, beautiful, creative ideas! There is no end to the imagination! 🤗 But oh, that green lacquered ceiling....fabulous! 🙌🏻💕 Thanks so much, Lisa!

When you said dish washer I instantly thought of Fisher Paykel dishwashing drawer. That would be perfect for a bar! Such a groovy idea.

Bars are super sexy! I can’t make a cocktail to save my life, maybe I could go with a tea bar?? 🤣 I’m a sucker for afternoon tea

this was great info. we have moved into an early 1970s california modern house with a fully-plumbed, built-in wet bar in the great room. we wouldn't ever use it as such, so it's on its way to being a sort of indoor potting station and maintenance center for (pretty, not dirty) plants. the former owners built it well: we have a plate glass mirrored backsplash in place, a ceramic tile counter (dated but not horrible) and tons of custom wood cupboards. right now it's a weird eyesore for us, but your ideas will go a long way to helping me make it better. i just need fresh paint on the (navajo white -- aaarrrgh) cupboards, a cooler faucet and some interesting lighting. love your posts. this one really helped me clarify my thoughts.

Such charming examples. In our tiny Cape Cod home, I tucked a library behind the front door in the entry. Instead of a bar in the living room, we put a fireplace, curio cabinets and desk/cupboards for storage and a keyboard. Guess we made our choices. However, I really enjoyed the beautiful colors and styles. Thank you! By the way, LOVE the sleeves on your blazer. Your videos are fun!

Lisa, as usual, your enthusiasm is infectious! During these difficult times, you lift my spirits! Speaking of "spirits", we too share your love of home bars. We've retired to Greater Palm Springs and have both a small inside bar in one corner of our living room and another bar outdoors on our patio. We love how both bars help to serve as anchors for entertaining our guests. Looking forward to when we can safely resume having friends in again. Once this pandemic is over, if you ever get out this way, stop in for a cocktail or two! We'd love to meet and befriend you. Take care and happy holidays to you and yours. Steve & Glen

Super pumped to create a bar in my dining room. I already have a sort of bar, with a 1940's gorgeous cocktail console cabinet that opens up with little mirrored cupboards with tiny brass shelves, but its sitting below a window so I can't put shelves above and a mirrored wall with lighting, however i have 3 other windows in that room and have been thinking for ages to block up the window above my bar console but with no particular vision in mind. OMG now I know what do with a whole new wall space. I go for very MCM style so I will continue the look. As I live in Europe, your links sadly don't apply but Im sure Ebay will throw up some good finds plus a good builder to instal shelving, mirrors and lighting. Thank you Lisa for your enthusiasm and interior expertise. You Rock

My bar is currently a set of IKEA shelves, but I watched the whole video anyways because your enthusiasm is infectious!

We didn’t have a built in bar at our latest home so I got a mirrored armoire and converted it into what I call our Barmoire. Guests are always wowed when I open it up to offer a beverage. Mirrored back inside and lighting that turns on when you open the doors is an extra groovy touch. Next I feel the need for a bar cart in my life!

Your terrific! I love your enthusiasm and creativity. Bravo!

I absolutely love your energy in these vidoes

Dear Lisa, thank you so much for your videos. These are always so educational and so helpful! I have learned so much about interior design since I subscribed for you channel. Kind regards from Germany

Big fan of your energy! Covid drinking is dangerous, the vaccine might save us from madness 🤣

Your videos are always fun but this one was so far my very favourite of useful tips. Many thanks for making it , I am designing my own living room furniture and decided to get a small dry bar in. Your video elevated my idea to the next level. 🤗🤗

Love the new video! We rent, but still found a way to create a dry bar with cool metal and glass open shelving from IKEA and a small fridge. So many dream bars 😍! Lisa, I’m a new subscriber and have learned so much in the past 3 weeks! We've implemented several of your small space design tips--our living room and bedroom already look bigger with the updates! 🤗 Thank You 💛

Who needs bubbly when you got bubbly Lisa! 😊

The CB Cane Bar Cabinet is stunning. Unfortunately it doesn't fit my current space or budget, but I am keeping it as inspiration for a future time when I have more of both. I am building an inset alcove of shelves into the wall opposite the dining table that will have 3 large shelves for serveware, decor, and a dry bar display, with a small wine fridge alcove built into the wall under it. I am planning to leave the top, bottom, and sides the same color as the wall (Benjamin Moore Muslin), while the back of the alcove will be covered in Sanderson Ringtailed Lemur wallpaper in Teal.

Great ideas! Thank you Lisa!

Wow - I have bar cart in my Amazon basket ready for pay day. Looking forward to serving drinks for my family when they visit 🍸🍹🥂🍾

This is SO Groovy 💗💖💗💖 Really love this. Great tips!! I’m Boho Max. Loved that look!!

Hello, from Dallas, Lisa! Now you’re talking my language. What a nice video. A real feast for the eyes.

Came across an old 50's era (mid-century mod design!) stainless steel topped cabinet with sink I thought would make a great bar... showed it to my husband and he thought it would make a "great fish-cleaning station!" LOL!!! To each his own I guess! =D

Thanks Lisa! Cheers! 🍷

I can’t wait to decorate my home bar in my new house. Lisa can I combined also my home bar with a tea/coffee bar? Thanks

Awesome 👏 just doing me mini bar and you upload this 👍thanks

You’re so right about what most forget - a nook/space for trash. Gotta share this video 🙌👍😄

This is exactly what I needed to figure out how to style my bar cart. Thank you Lisa!

This is the most fun one yet Lisa!!! ❤️❤️❤️

We did a wet bar in our basement to maximize its functionality, close to the Rec room, but no seating bar, we opted for a counter height table , we can use it too near the gym for our post workout treats lol, it’s a joint between the playroom, Rec room and gym and when COVID ends, guests self serving corner

Please make a video about benches!! Dining table benches, entryway benches, bed benches, accent benches!! 😍😍😍

Hey Lisa, love the video! Heaven knows we all need to imbibe more than usual this holiday! Im taking notes for my hubby!

Now I want a bar cart 😘🥴😩😉🥂

Yes, Lisa...drinking from home - LOL! My bar cart from Pottery Barn has served me well and these are some great ideas to update it. Thanks again for more great ideas and tips.

Moving when I retire in a year have a hot tubbar in my basement now will be moving out of state. Like the bar cart idea for future possibilities

The mirror backsplash always looks great, especially if it's mirroring a lush garden, but I would absolutely hate to clean it all the time!

Gosh, I wouldn't want to have one of those with teenagers in the house.

Fantastic topic for design. There is something very cool about having a bar area no matter the size. Bar cart in the bedroom if you have the space of course.

Such a timely video, as I replenished our bar for the holidays just a few weeks ago. We have a walk up bar between kitchen and dining and a full wet bar downstairs with everything you recommend, eg fridge and icemaker. Bars are great for both parties and pandemics :) “Mixology” is now a Thing!

you sound exactly like molly shannon in the best way possible! love you!

Awesome info, great job!

Wonderful ideas, especially for the Holidays!

Another fantastic video! I never designed a bar before so, thank you for the great tips! Love the beautiful breathtaking images you show! You’re videos are awesome! 😊

Wonderful new glasses frames - you look amazing

Are you going to show us the bar that you installed the up lights and down lights but isn’t finished yet? I would LOVE to see how that turned out! Love your videos!❤️💕❤️

Thank you am doing a diy home bar for my channel and this was very helpful 👍 🙂

I Love your positive Energy!!!! I have a question, Where can I purchase the Gold mirrored bar cabinet seen in this video? It's shown around minute 10 or so.

WOWZA! Wonderful video with so many fantastic ideas!!!!! I LOVE YOUR ENERGY!!!! Always a pleasure to watch your videos. I don’t have a bar at home but may set one up now that I’ve learned from you! (Can you do a coffee bar someday too? Not sure if they are popular in homes as well these days but could be important for the morning AFTER you indulge in your wet bar.... just sayin.....)

Always loved the look of a bar cart even though I don’t drink! 😀

Groovy video!!! 🐱🦊🐯

Wow, thanks for all the links, so helpful 👍🏻✌🏻🌸💕👏🏻😘

So interesting!! This was the video I didn't know I needed. Thanks! 😊

Love bar carts

Home drinking, I can do it!!

Hi Lisa! Love your style and tips. It's a pleasure to watch you. I'm in the middle of a reno on my new townhome and I was wondering if you could give me an idea on my kitchen backsplash and paint. I have a navy tile 12×24 and white shaker cabinets. What colors would you pick for the backsplash? Paint? I have 3 big windows in the kitchen that face north east. Thanks!

This is a keeper! Can’t wait to get my list... I want that mirrored cabinet... and a bar cart!

Lissssa....this is perfect timing I am working on my bar area. I have crate and barrels leaning wine bar shelf and I want to incorporate liquor on the top shelves so your PDF I look forward to getting. THANK YOU 😊

Kind of hilarious that i would see this video pop up today, as my "pandemic hobby" was/is doing a bar in my mid-century modern inspired living room (there's a fine line between "bowling alley/Las Vegas/pink flaming/tiki bar kitsch" and "Don Draper/Mad Men/Palm Springs Sexy")! But...at 11:13, those shelves above that cute bar cabinet in the niche will not allow the louvered door to open. (BTW, I went with the MCM bar cabinet, myself, for a weird little corner in my living room -- Amazon Brand "Rivit" Bar Cabinet--it's GORGEOUS).

Groovy video!

Hello from Central Florida, great video. Thank you

Your intro was so funny....drinking at home!!

Hello Lisa, May I have the PDF on how to set a bar? Thank you so much! I love your tutorials, you are so knowledgeable and professional.

How about coffee bar areas? Would ♥️ to see your ideas! ☕️

I turned an old TV armoire into my bar. It was an amazing DIY transformation . My friends still don’t believe I did it.
